What are the plans for the truck? You might want to drive it around with the old engine first, before you yank it out.
For what its worth, I bought a complete 216 in Langford for $75. I was told it was running, but never checked it out, as I just wanted spare parts to keep my truck running. It came with gauges, and a few starters and generators too.
If you post up some pictures, and do a compression test, and see what the oil pressure is when the engine is hot (running for say 20min), and see whether it smokes, you'll have a better idea. Someone might be interested in the engine just to use as a "runner" if its not smokey, etc.
